Research news
Clinical outcomes vary across subtypes of pulmonary arterial hypertension
[cid:image031.jpg at 01D8F51F.CFCE1350]A recent study examined how markers of inflammation and angiogenesis in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension were related to clinical outcomes across disease subtypes.
This was a translational retrospective study that explored how cytokine levels were associated with mortality, and how the strength of those connections depended on specific disease subtypes.

"While patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension are often grouped together in clinical trial regardless of their subtype, our findings support that a more subtype specific focus may be warranted," said Dr. Kellen Hirsch, R3, and lead author on the paper, published in the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplant.
